Chapter 22: Heart palpitations
Time entered the countdown, and in the blink of an eye, according to the initial plan, there were still three days to search the entire grassland land, looking at the map in his hand, the corners of Wang Lung's mouth showed a hint of relief.
What a wise decision he made at the beginning, using the gap between the outbreak of the bat tide to explore the grassland, although it was still dangerous, but it still had a lot of gains.
Bai Lujiao found it by his own luck, but the Millennium Worry-Free Fruit was let Kong help, although there was a hint of suspicion of cheating, but Wang Lung didn't pay attention to it at all.
On the night of the harvest, Wang Lung met with a brother and gave him to a generation for safekeeping.
Likong had already helped Lieyan refine the top-grade Heart Condensing Pill and smoothly exchanged it for the Worry-Free Fruit, this process seemed to be no danger at all, but Wang Lung was even more incomprehensible to Lieyan.
Liefei did not break his oath, and after spending twelve furnaces of materials to refine a furnace of high-grade Condensing Heart Pill, he happily handed over the worry-free fruit to one, and the number of high-grade Condensing Heart Pills that was refined was more than ten grains, and Lieyan even gave the extra six grains to Kong as a gift for the first meeting, this move not only made the two brothers unclear, but also made Wang Lung unable to see each other's intentions.
Why did Liefei do this, Wang Lung couldn't understand it at all, for this kind of problem of hurting brain cells, Wang Lung threw it to the two brothers very shamefully, as long as they could exchange it for worry-free fruit, as for what Liefei thought, Wang Lung couldn't control it, now it seems that Liefei not only has no threat to him, but it seems that the relationship is not bad.
Wang Lung still has a few months to be on the Green Plains Star, and as for the concubine, he may just be a passerby, and if there is a chance to meet next time, Wang Lung does not mind expressing his gratitude to the other party.
There are still three days to complete the planning, and the ten grassland lands still need to be explored by Wang Long, and the three spirit grasses have not been collected. Ten grasslands could not contain all the required spiritual herbs, and it would be a great fortune to be able to harvest one more in the remaining time.
After saying goodbye to the two brothers, he docked the aircraft over the next grassland, Wang Lung didn't think about searching at night, but there were too many plants that came to life, and the shadows couldn't tell which was the elixir and which was the weed.
The frequency of bat outbreaks has been decreasing in the past two days. Most of the cultivators have also revealed, but Wang Lung's palpitations have always existed, and many days have passed, if he was targeted by other cultivators, it should have been fulfilled, but not only is there no danger yet, even if he meets other cultivators, the other party will not pay attention to him at all.
The line was in a hurry, and everyone seemed to be in a desperate hurry. Keeping an eye on the bat tide that might erupt around them, they were also looking down to search for various spirit grasses, this phenomenon was not only seen on the native beasts of the Green Plains Star, but also on those cultivators from the alien planet.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that there is a more terrible disaster besides the tide of bats? Wang Lung carefully recalled the old ghost's explanation when he came, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, Wang Lung was also happy to be idle, and he could successfully complete the plan without fighting, so why not do it?
And just like that, the day passed quickly. On this day, Wang Lung did not gain anything. But the grassland has explored as many as five pieces, and there can be such progress, which also makes Wang Lung happy, the more you reach the bottom, the less hope you may reap, and you can explore the entire grassland to make your situation safer.
In the past few days, many cultivators have appeared, which has made Wang Long's hope for harvest less and less. After all, it wasn't that he had the advantage of being alone at the beginning, one more person would have less hope, and it was possible that there was already the required spiritual herb in the unsearched area that was collected by other cultivators, but Wang Lung didn't give up, all he could do now was to do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
After dark. Wang Lung lifted the aircraft into the air, it seemed that the slightest uneasiness in his heart was inexplicable, it was possible that he was thinking too much, and after reaching the most unbearable, his mentality would change, which was a normal reaction.
After calming down his mentality, Wang Lung put aside the lingering palpitations for the time being, and prepared to revise the remaining marking points, after all, they marked some other spiritual herbs that had already been harvested.
Sanssouci Fruit and Bai Lujiao have been found, so the possible growth points of these two spiritual herbs can be removed, some time ago, Wang Lung felt that there was still plenty of time, and there might be extra harvest from searching a few more places, so he didn't make any adjustments, and now it is enough time, but Wang Lung does not plan to continue looking, the main factor is his unpleasant premonition.
I don't know what's going on in the Dao, seeing the changes in those cultivators, Wang Lung is inexplicably irritable in his heart, although he hasn't been threatened yet, but those cultivators obviously know what is about to happen in the Dao, this kind of thing that is not under his control, Wang Lung is the most depressed, knowing that the Dao will be in danger, but he doesn't know what will happen to the Dao, and he doesn't even have the least countermeasures.
After resetting the marked points on the map, Wang Lung counted them and found that there were less than a hundred, and there were less than five grasslands, and if he was lucky, he could complete it in one day tomorrow.
After searching all the grasslands, Wang Lung decided to find a brother and two to join up first, and stay in the outer space of the Green Plains Star for a few days to see if the slightest palpitation would still exist, and his heart was always shrouded in inexplicable danger, even a cultivator couldn't stand it, not to mention that Wang Lung was not a cultivator yet.
The sun rose slowly, the weather was good today, the sky was clear, and there were no signs of dark clouds, Wang Lung took a long breath of relief, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and only after his state of mind improved, he drove the aircraft to search carefully at this marked point.
One...... Two...... Three...... As the number of search targets increases, the number of undetected labels gradually decreases.
A morning passed quickly, Wang Lung smiled with satisfaction, there are still two grasslands that have not been explored, and there are not many marked points on those two grasslands, adding up to only thirty, if you are lucky, you will be able to do it in two hours.
Before piloting the aircraft to fly to the next piece of grassland land, Wang Lung's brows began to furrow, and his inexplicable irritability became more and more intense, among which the slightest palpitation was of course the culprit, but the abnormal movements of those cultivators made Wang Lung more alert.
In the past few hours, Wang Lung had encountered significantly lower cultivators than in the previous two days, and the information transmitted from the aircraft's detection system showed that more than eighty or ninety percent of the cultivators had been hidden, even if there were still animals or cultivators running around, their destination was a hiding place.
It seems that some unpredictable catastrophe is about to happen. What the hell was it? Wang Lung couldn't figure it out.
Wang Lung didn't think about the danger of the bat tide, but he was quickly vetoed, after all, the bat tide had just broken out, and it was impossible for more barn snake bats to join it, and it was impossible for two large-scale bat tides to break out in a row, so in addition to the old ghost of the bat tide, he didn't say that there were other disasters.
What is known about the Chloropath. Wang Lung is not as good as the old ghost, but what year did the old ghost start to know about the Green Plains Star? This question suddenly popped up, making Wang Lung break out in a cold sweat, if it is an old ghost who doesn't know that a danger happened in the last million years, then what should I do, it's not impossible, after all, what happens on the Green Plains Star is not unusual, and it is normal for the old ghost to not know the way.
A glance at the map in his hand showed that there were still two grasslands that could be fully explored. Whether to continue or dodge first, Wang Lung began to think in his heart.
If this continues, there will definitely be unpredictable dangers coming, and the time is uncertain, but if it does not appear within two hours, it will not be a waste of this great opportunity, there are not many remaining marking points, two hours is enough.
Although wealth and wealth are in danger. But this wealth also has to have a life to enjoy, just as Wang Lung was thinking. The aircraft did not change its course, but still flew towards the next marked point.
There wasn't much time left for Wang Lung to think, and before the aircraft arrived at the marking point, Wang Lung had already made a choice, just like his original decision, to explore all the grassland land no matter what.
After the decision is made. Wang Lung did not hesitate to use the energy of the aircraft to maximize the life detection function, and no wind or grass within a range of 100 kilometers would escape his eyes.
With a range of 100 kilometers, it is enough for the aircraft to escape to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and even if the bat tide breaks out again, it will not let him fall into it. At the same time, the aircraft's detection system also needs to monitor the scattered cultivators around, not for fear of someone sneaking up, and let the aircraft judge the time when unknown dangers may break out based on the time when other cultivators are hiding in the hiding place.
Whether the aircraft can be speculated, Wang Lung doesn't know what to do, he just lets the central control system deal with it by itself, for the high-tech products in the Holy Source system, Wang Lung doesn't know much, but only uses some functions, and Wang Lung doesn't know anything about the principles and deeper functions they contain.
After telling the central control system of the aircraft his idea, Wang Lung turned his eyes to the area where the marked point was located, and if there was any danger, the aircraft would automatically warn him.
As time passed, Wang Lung quickly completed the exploration of a piece of land, but the danger still did not come, and he also did not find the required spiritual herbs.
As he drove the aircraft to the next steppe land, Wang Lung noticed a trace of abnormality.
When passing through the river between the two lands, the water surface is rippling, the low water waves are windless and automatic, setting off ripples, the land in front is a dense forest, the branches are swaying, falling with the wind, the emerald green branches and leaves seem to be oppressed by some invisible force and can't raise their heads, this situation is not unprecedented, it will only appear when the dark clouds are raging and the wind is raging, but now it is fundamentally different from usual.
The sun is shining, the sky is clear, according to the environmental detection of the aircraft, the air humidity is less than 20%, and the wind speed is relatively low, this situation is obviously different from usual, Wang Lung Zhilu said, this is a precursor to danger.
Ignoring those unusual changes for the time being, Wang Lung estimated the time, and there was still about half an hour to complete the search for the next piece of grassland land, and since he had already made his choice, he could not have any hesitation.
Bite......
A crisp prompt sound shifted Wang Lung's gaze from the aircraft's central control system, and a series of numbers appeared on the virtual screen.
There are still more than thirty-seven minutes, hehe...... Okay, enough time, Wang Lung looked at the display time, and his heart suddenly felt much more relaxed, he didn't expect that after reaching the worst, his idea was calculated by the flying machine, with this time, Wang Lung was much easier, and he could avoid danger accordingly.
It only took half an hour to explore the entire grassland, and the remaining seven minutes were enough for the aircraft to escape into outer space, and it seemed that he was lucky.
After knowing the time, Wang Lung shifted his gaze, time was not only life for him, but also spiritual herbs.
Five minutes later, Wang Lung explored three suspicious marking points, and still did not gain anything, this result is also expected, even if the entire grassland does not find a single required spiritual herb, Wang Lung will not be annoyed, this is a matter of probability in itself, the absence of grassland land does not mean that there are no other lands, as long as the grassland land is explored, then the remaining months, the danger level on the Green Plains Star will be reduced a lot.
Fourth ...... Fifth ...... Sixth ......
Fifteen minutes have passed, and there are still more than seventeen minutes to go, and the unknown danger will come, and there are only three undetected marked points left, which is enough time for Wang Long.
When the aircraft had just arrived at the penultimate predetermined location, Wang Lung saw at a glance a required spiritual herb, although he didn't know what the year was, but it was indeed the spiritual herb requested by the old ghost.
Stopping the aircraft at a height of 100 meters above the ground, Wang Lung jumped off the aircraft directly, and after landing, Wang Lung ran directly to the spirit grass without caring about observing the surrounding situation.
Squatting down, Wang Lung directly observed carefully, this spirit grass is the variety required by the old ghost, and its texture should meet the requirements, as for the specific age, it can only be confirmed after a closer look.
While Wang Lung was counting the years of the spiritual herbs, the time suddenly shortened on the virtual display screen of the aircraft's central control system, and time advanced rapidly.
Bite......
There was another crisp prompt, the time was frozen at forty-three seconds, the danger was imminent, and a large red area appeared on the life detection system, and countless red light spots quickly entered the detection range of the aircraft, but Wang Lung did not know anything about it. (To be continued......)
